About

Bellacouche - meaning beautiful resting place - is the old name for the ancient granite building I set the business up in. I have recently moved the studio into bigger premises; a beautiful and airy chapel in Moretonhampstead, Dartmoor.
Pure, locally sourced wool is my raw material, which is mechanically made into felt, and from this comes a stunning catalogue of products; bags, tuffets (seat pads), quirky tea cosies, woollen insoles, felting kits, hot water bottle covers, hats, little decorations, wall hangings and Leafcocoons - a unique soft coffin, designed for natural burial.
The pieces are all hand made, motifs are either sewn or needle felted in. Dyes are natural.
Dartmoor is where I live and work - a beautiful and wild landscape - and this is an infinite source for inspiration. I am deeply mindful of our environment and the preciousness of nature, so everything I do or make bears this in mind; keeping my impact on the planet as small as possible. I cycle to work, recycle all that I can, and compost the rest.
